There were many appli- w cants among the master builders, but the face of one of them caught his ? eye. [s "It was my man of the fence." he; said.

"While the spring campaign in Eu-j ope s great war is opening up," says . statement issued by the National | leographic society a few days ago. j and the question is pending as to whether or not the comming summer rill end hostilities as those of the Napoleonic wars were ended in the ear of which this is the centennial, t is interesting to go back a hunred years for a glimpse of the proess by which the map of the eontiient was remade at that time. "In March. 1S14, Great Britain, uistria. Russia and Prussia entered nto a treaty binding them to stand ogether until peace was concluded. l little less than three months later ^rance, with Napoleon beaten, enterd into a secret agreement with hese powers giving them the dispoition of all the countries which the -ittle Corporal's fall had liberated rom French control. "The a.lies decided to hold a con;ress at Vienna for the distribution if the spoils of the war. As soon as hey met there Great Britain, Austria, tussia and Prussia decided that they vould first settle all controversies hemselves, and then call-in France ind Spam to ratify what they had lone. France was represented by "alleyrand. and he . declared that "ranee would never give its consent o such a course of procedure. Sweden and Portugal were finally idded as members of the congress, ind it was not long until bones of ontention were thrown into the area >f debate upon which the four allies :ould reach no agreement among hemselves. One of these was the [uestion of the disposition of Saxony md Poland. Russia insisted that ihe shDuld. have the whole of Poland ts the price of its contribution to the var. England, through its leading epresentative. Lord Castlereagh, irmly opposed the pretensio is of Mexana'er. "The diplomatic war continued for l number of months with England itanding by France, her late enemy, igainst Russia, her recent ally. Finaly, with Russia showing no signs of ielding, France, Austria and Great Britain entered into a secret treaty >f defense, the purpose of which was o force Russia to terms. The allies irobably would thus have fought tmong themselves at that time, just is the allies did after the Balkan var a few years ago, had not Xapcljon reappeared on the scene of acion as their common enemy again. "The outcome of the bickerings in he congress resulted in Austria and 5russia retaining most of their Poish dominions, with the remainder toing to Russia under an agreement hat it should be a separate kinglorn, ruled by the czar of Russia, acording to its own constitution. Iwitzerland was was given a constiution; Italy retained Lonibardy and renetia: and Holland kept Belgium. Luxemburg and Limburg. Sweden. OSlILg r lruana LU nu&aitt, scluicu >orway as compensation. "England made a proposal that the lave trade of Europe should be bolished, which resulted in a decaration of abolition, leaving each ountrv free to fix its own date of bolition. "It was the purpose of the English epresentatives to secure a solemn uarantee from the members of the ongress to- make collective war "on ny nation that might undertake to isUirb the agreement of partition, 'his plan partook something of the ature of an international court such s is today recommended by many eac-e advocates.
